Happy Birthday Mom!!!

I just came across this photo- I have no idea how old the Sunchild is in this picture, but he reminded me of Ruby, and it made me smile.

The Sunchild is enjoying having a new yard a whole lot.

I cannot seem to get a picture of just the Sunchild any longer. He & his sister are just too cute together. I just had to share this one!

The Sunchild enjoyed testing out his new rain boots in Hammersley Inlet out in Shelton. The tide moved in rather fast. He put a stick in the sand and we used a stopwatch to learn that it moved landward 3 inches in 1 minute. A boot-high stick was almost submerged in 20 minutes. Logs and other flotsam were carried rapidly by, and we watched life go by, for while.

The blogging has been infrequent, as actual typing is difficult with a nursling. We are planning to move in about a month, and there is a lot to do in preparation. But when we arrive, we will have a yard, and trees, and greenery around us. I look forward to having a birdfeeder again.

There has been a lot of learning going on these days- about being a family of four. The Sunchild is learning about the sorts of things he can do for himself when mom is too busy nursing the Gem. He is developing a sense of confidence in his own abilities. It is fun to witness.

Big brother is learning how to hold his little sister Ruby. Aren't they cute?
